Deepening the Culture of Philanthropy

The Alliance seeks to deepen the culture of philanthropy in American and Indian society, especially among Indian Americans and among others with affinity for India. We do this through coordinated communications, our evolving youth engagement initiative, collective efforts such as India Giving Day, and participating in conferences such as the the GiveIndia Philanthropy Summit and the Dasra Philanthropy Forum.  It is our hope that over time, Indian-Americans will increase their philanthropy giving to $3 billion annually, focus a meaningful amount of those gifts on development needs in India, and sustain their impressive tradition of volunteerism (which is double the national rate in the United States).
